Project base point in IFC view

Good evening,

 

I try export a IFC file with the project base point but the architect tells me it's not visible in the IFC model. Should I check something special to make it visible?

I send some photos.

Thank you !!!

I'm not following.  There is no Project Base Point in an IFC. 

 

...maybe the Architect doesn't have the Project Base Point Category turned on in his View.  Reveal Hidden Elements to verify.

If you want to reveal the Project base Point of an IFC, do not link it.  File > Open > IFC > save it as a RVT, then send them this RVT.

 

Of course, this method doesn't work if they can only view IFC.  In such case, place a datum element (a generic model family, or a couple of grid lines and a level at the Project Base Point, then export to IFC.
